Suitable for all year 7 classes, middle/ lower year 8 and 9 classes and lower year 10 and 11 classes.</p>
<p>Questions are on various topics including: arithmetic, fractions, percentages, decimals, algebra substitution and simplifying, lengths/ distance conversions, probability, factors, primes, squaring and square rooting and some shape symmetry/ drawing.</p>
<p>The level of difficulty gradually builds over time.<br />
I am uploading the following bundles (all contain answers):<br />

A literacy boost in maths lessons! 80 common maths words, split in to 4 groups of 20. 2 lists per A4 sheet. Print out, photocopy, get pupils to stick them in their maths books or planners and test them weekly on these words. (Weeks 1 to 4, 20 words from each weekly list, then week 5 could be any 20 words from the whole list).<br />
<br />
Objective: Improve the spelling of frequently used maths words. (Also, to reinforce the definitions of the words when doing the spelling test).<br />
<br />
Aimed at: years 7 to 11, all ability groups. May be suitable for some high ability year 6 classes.
15 questions with 16 answers where pupils work out the substitution answers and eliminate the possible answers in the middle to leave one remaining answer. Final remaining answer is 84.<br />
Only 3 variables a, b and c with whole numbers are used.<br />
(Good resource for plenary/ consolidation of substitution. Could be used for high ability year 6 through to low ability year 11.)<br />

I have uploaded similar worksheets on factors, multiples, BIDMAS, powers and roots.
<p>Powerpoint and worksheet plotting coordinates on a grid (-10 to +10 axis). The picture builds up to create a castle image.</p>
<p>Suitable for years 6 to 9 depending on ability.</p>
<p>Once coloured in, this activity is great for making a classroom wall display.</p>
<p>I have used this in years 7,8 and 9 they all enjoyed it, just allow more time for the younger ones to finish.</p>
<p>Extension idea: Create your own image with coordinates on a blank grid for other pupils to try.</p>
<p>FOUR different maths bingo games suitable for years 7 to 11 all abilities. I have never met a class who don’t like doing these Bingo games.</p>
<p>This resource is designed to be a fun activity (10 - 15 mins each game) for KS3 and KS4 pupils. Students choose any 9 numbers between 1 and 20 and write them in a 3 x 3 grid. Each bingo game has 20 questions (with answers) and students cross off the number from their bingo grid if they have it. The first pupil to get all 9 numbers shouts ‘Bingo’ (and could win a prize?). Teachers can pick different students to answer the questions and then pass on to the whole class if the student cannot get the correct answer.</p>
<p>Topics covered: short BIDMAS questions, squared numbers, square roots, cube numbers, Roman numerals and some general knowledge questions including history, geography and French.</p>
<p>The resource is 1 compact A4 sheet that contains all the questions and answers for 4 Bingo games. It is designed in mind to be printed and blue-tacked to your classroom wall for whenever you need a fun filler activity to do in a lesson. You could also (at a later time) read the questions in reverse to make 8 games out of it.</p>
<p>Please see other free and paid for resources by me: search under “Lunchbox1”.<br />

<p>These tests/ worksheets are designed to be used as a <strong>non-calculator test</strong>, although it could be renamed to become a homework sheet. Depending on the class ability and level of difficulty I suggest giving 8 - 12 minutes for the test and then about 5 minutes to discuss some of the answers and methods.</p>
<p>**These Quick 20 Higher tests are suitable for top ability classes in years 8, 9, 10 and 11. For even more challenge I will upload ‘Quick 20 Higher Prep tests’, for middle/ lower sets try the ‘Quick 20 Foundation level’. **</p>
<p>Questions in this Higher bundle are on various topics including: arithmetic including with fractions and mixed numbers, BIDMAS, indices, converting percentages, multiplying decimals, algebraic substitution and simplifying, speed/ distance/ time, probability, factors, standard form (with some calculations), Pythagoras’, some averages with range and IQR plus a few ‘wild card’ maths general knowledge questions thrown in for fun!</p>
<p>The level of difficulty gradually builds over time with plenty of interleaving of topics and when I introduce some higher level topics I balance this with a few easier questions to compensate. I test my classes weekly to improve memory recall and the pupils seem to enjoy the competitive aspect of it.<br />
I am working on uploading the following bundles (all will contain answers):<br />
Quick 20 tests - Foundation level 1 - 10<br />

<p>Each download has 10 tests, each with 20 questions and is followed by a complete set of answers. All the tests are designed to be non-calculator.</p>
<p>I usually allow 7 minutes to 9 minutes depending on the classes ability. I would suggest start at 7 minutes then add 1 or 2 minutes if needed. The tests gradually increase in challenge and topics are interleaved to reinforce key skills/ methods needed for the higher maths GCSEs.</p>
<p>Topics include: BIDMAS calculations, solving inequalities, inequalities on a number line, arithmetic with fractions and decimals, standard form, algebraic fractions, HCF, rearranging equations/ change the subject, sequences (linear, quadratic, geometric and Fibonacci), prime factor decomposition, boxplots, expanding, factorising and simplifying, direct and inverse proportion, substitution in to functions, bounds, simplifying surds, exact trig values, gradients and midpoints from coordinates.</p>

<p>This is a free sample of a “Quick 20” maths test for higher ability pupils. I have uploaded bundles of tests: 1 -10, 11 - 20 and 21 - 30. The tests are designed to be non-calculator, have a variety of topics, and a slight graduation in level of challenge as the tests progess.</p>
<p>Usually the higher series of tests would suit the higher ability maths classes in years 9, 10 and 11 or any classes that need a bit of challenge.</p>
<p>Tests typically take 7 to 8 minutes to complete but increase time accordingly for later tests to about 9 to 10 minutes.</p>
<p>I have also uploaded Quick 20 foundation level maths tests and other rsources.</p>
